COPD risk slider
The COPD risk slider supports the initiation of a conversation with your patients about their COPD and to identify any potential risk of exacerbation or worsening of symptoms.
The COPD risk slider is a tool which can be easily used by primary care healthcare professionals in their normal 10-20 minute consultation to assess exacerbation risk in their COPD patients.
It will support healthcare professionals and pharmacists to:
- assess their COPD patients for risk of potential worsening of symptoms/exacerbations,
- initiate conversations with their patients about their COPD,
- make informed decisions on treatment and medication, and
- provide effective, and tailored, information and advice and guidance to reduce any exacerbation risk identified.
